Located 200 km north-east of Budapest, not far from the Slovak and Ukrainian borders, the Tokaj-hegyalja Tokaj Foothills winegrowing region is in the southernmost part of the volcanic mountains that branch off from the Carpathian chain. The region and its principal towns can easily be reached by car taking the M3 motorway from Budapest to Miskolc, then the No.37 highway or by train there are a number of direct trains from Budapest and from Miskolc.
A unique wine region.
